Gina and her husband were going on vacation to Hawaii. When the plane touched down on the island she started to feel sweaty and sick to her stomach. She didn't recognize it at that moment, but she was having an anxiety attack.

Gina still struggles with anxiety and her journey has been full of loneliness, shame, and growth.

"I submitted my story to ADAA because anxiety is such a stigma and I am working on making it acceptable to speak about," Gina says. "I have received help through therapy, yoga, and support from my husband and friends. There are still days I hang my head in shame and feel the stigma society has cast upon me and so many others."
